Personalised Name Necklaces
A personalised name necklace turns a single word — your name, a child's name, a nickname — into jewellery you wear every day. This collection covers cursive script, Old English nameplate, tree of life medallion and layered birthstone styles, each crafted to order in 925 sterling silver. From £32.95, with selected designs in gold or rose-gold plating.
Script, Nameplate or Medallion: Finding Your Lettering Style
The biggest decision with a name necklace is how the name appears. Cursive script reads soft and classic and flatters shorter names. The Old English nameplate is bolder — a statement piece where the lettering itself is the design. Medallion styles, like the Tree of Life family necklace, engrave names onto a disc, which suits longer names or several at once. For young wearers, the unicorn name necklace adds a charm to the lettering.
One Name or the Whole Family?
Single-name necklaces are the classic choice for wearing your own name or a child's. If you need more, the Family Trio Infinity holds three names in one pendant, and the interlinked family heart design connects multiple names from £32.95. Browse personalised family necklaces if the names outnumber what one nameplate can carry, or pair a name with a stone via the birthstone name necklace.
Made to Order in 925 Sterling Silver
Every necklace here is crafted to order with your exact text in 925 sterling silver, with selected designs finished in gold or rose-gold plating. Because each piece is cut or engraved specifically for you, allow 7-12 working days for delivery and proofread the spelling carefully — made-to-order names are final sale.
When a Name Necklace Is the Right Gift
Name necklaces land hardest at firsts: a first Mother's Day, a new grandmother, a daughter's 18th. They are also a quiet self-purchase — wearing your own name has long been mainstream rather than bold, a question we unpack in whether it is OK to wear a name necklace. If you are weighing styles by recipient, our round-up of the best personalised necklaces for women compares the options side by side.
Caring for the Lettering
Because the name is formed in the metal rather than printed, it will not rub away with daily wear. Keep the necklace dry, apply perfume before you put it on, and store it flat in a pouch so fine script sections do not snag against other jewellery.
Frequently asked questions
What name styles can I choose from?
Flowing cursive script, bold Old English nameplate, engraved medallions like the Tree of Life design, layered name-and-birthstone sets, and a unicorn charm style for younger wearers. Each is crafted to order with your exact text.
Can one necklace carry more than one name?
Yes. The Family Trio Infinity necklace holds three names, the interlinked family heart takes multiple names from £32.95, and the Tree of Life medallion engraves several family names on one disc.
Can I combine a name with a birthstone?
Two designs do exactly that: the layered name necklace with birthstone set, and the birthstone name necklace, which pairs your engraved name with a chosen stone in sterling silver.
Will the name wear off over time?
No — the name is engraved or formed in 925 sterling silver rather than printed, so it cannot rub away. Apply perfume before putting the necklace on to keep the finish bright.
Can I return a name necklace if I change my mind?
Personalised name necklaces are made to order with your exact text, so they are final sale. Double-check spelling before ordering. Ready-made jewellery has 60-day returns and exchanges.
